As a journalist, I have learned that the interview is the destination but the STORY is the journey. This one is a great story. The day of The Golden Era Festival, I was charged with chauffeuring AZ around Long Beach until show time! We stopped to shop, site see and Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles! A couple of hours before the show, we sit in his hotel room and knock out an epic interview. Why is it epic? Because I didn't ask him any questions, you did! I took the top 10 questions submitted by our fans and AZ answered all of them! Will there be another Firm album? Is Doe or Die 2 really his last album? Can we expect another film to follow up Jewels, Gems & Treasures? This and more in this knowledge and music filled episode with one of the greatest emcees in HipHop history It is an honor to cross of the 17th name off our wishlist Ladies & Gentlemen, AZ!

After a 3 hour car ride, I was ready to stretch my legs. I have known 2Mex for about 4 years now and was excited to finally add him to the roster. He welcomed me into his house and the first thing that you see are posters, of past shows, events and random artists. We sit and  then it hits you in the face, like, no for reals, it did happen to him...he's missing a leg. Then you start to talk to him and you realize that it's not slowing him down, not even a little bit! If anything, he's building on it, creating and growing as an artist. Once we start, it becomes clear that 2mex is not pretending, he is 2mex. Enjoy.   #waketheflokup #2mex Www.WakeTheFlokUp.net
